Need more image sizes for your blog? Here’s a plugin

The plugin works great, I can see the new image sizes in my upload folder, but I was just wondering how exactly to call them into your theme with the “Get the Image” plugin.

Is it something like this?
<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_image' ) ) { get_the_image( 'default_size=my_new_image_size' ); } ?>

Thanks in advance.

@catnip216 I’m glad to hear that it works for you. This is the code that I have in my theme:

<?php if (function_exists('get_the_image')) { echo get_the_image('default_size=blogindex&width=220&height=140'); } ?>

Where blogindex is the name of the size. I’m not sure why I have the width and height parameters as well.

Hope this helps!

Edit: Those width and height parameters are used as attributes for the <img> element. They’re not necessary

Is there any way to run this function on ALL images uploaded in one go?

I keep getting this message:

Not quite finished yet. We had to stop the script midway because it had been running for too long. Just press the button again to continue where we left off.

And only a few (3-10) images has been resized, sometimes (more like most of times) none has been resized…

I have about 200 posts in my photoblog, and having to do this for only a few images at a time takes forever…

On line 387 of the plugin file, replace break; with //break;. That should do the trick.

I’ll see what I can do to improve this function in the next update.

Edit: To be sure, look for this piece of code:

if ($max_execution_time - $current_execution_time < 2) {
    break;
}

Any chance have any guesses why this won’t work in wordpress mu? It installs fine, and I can add sizes just fine, and they show up in the add image screen, but when I go to upload, none of the images are uploaded other than thumbnail and full size, and it’s not added to the gallery.

I really don’t know anything about WP MU, sorry! I don’t really have the time to look into it right now. Maybe 3.0 will fix this? Because of the merge I mean.

Is there a way this could work without ‘Get the image’ plugin? Ideally, to make it work with wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, $size ) or at least provide your own function, like get_additional_image( $image, $size )

Edit: nevermind, I’ll be using it with the ‘Get the image’ plugin.

Hi Dartanjan,

There’s no need to use the Get the image plugin. You can use your own function for retrieving images, use a different plugin or use WP 2.9’s built in thumbnail functions. Providing a function for that is beyond the scope of this plugin though.
